obama: this was a heinous and cowardly act. and given what we now know about what took place the fbi is investigating it as an act of terrorism. what we don't yet know, however is who carried out this attack or why whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic or was the act of a malevolent individual. >> john: what we do know is that around 2:50 p.m. yesterday two bombs exploded within 15 second and 500 feet of each other near the end of the boston marathon killing three people and injuring an additional 176. the bombs were reportedly built inside six liter pressure cook ers. they were packed with ball bearings nails and black powder to maximize harm to those nearby. now, earlier accounts of at least two additional device being discovered in boston were not accurate. pictures just released by whdh in boston, sent to the fbi purport to show a suspicious package in an area directly impacted by the explosion. while photos released by waga in atlanta claim to show the remnants of the pressure

we know that president obama's relationship with mr. putin has been at the very least complicated over the years. how could that play a factor in all of this? >> reporter: well, look, i think the word "complicated" is a didngood word for this, craig. it's not clear how that will play a role. at this point it appears as though putin has reached out to the president and wants to work with him as they continue with this investigation, but as you point out, there have been strains between the two countries, for example. they haven't seen eye to eye in terms of how to handle syria. so there have been some points of contention. we should point out, though, that the two are expected to meet on the sidelines of the g-8 summit, which will occur this summer, so there is a chance for them to sit down and there has been some level of outreach prior to the boston bombings to try to smooth over relations. of course that hasn't exactly happened, so it's hard to see how that might play a role in this and i think we shouldn't assume that it will. invest
